A great place to stay!

Our host gave us a very friendly welcome, they were super helpful throughout. The room was large, clean, well appointed and quiet. Plenty of parking on site and the high street and lots of eating out options are a few minutes walk away.

It was ok, room was clean and breakfast was good. I thought they have a restaurant but no, tap water in the sink takes a while to warm up. Paul was a lovely host.

Short break

We arrived a little later than planned so had to phone the number displayed outside the property. Paul was welcoming and friendly, giving us instructions for entry. He also recommended a couple of dog-friendly pubs for our evening meal. We chose the Lamb & Flag - very popular with massive portions! Our room was comfortable and overlooking the street, but not too noisy. Radiators could be adjusted, so we had a cosy sleep. Breakfast was delicious. Full cooked, cereals, toast, yogurt, juices. The atmosphere was lovely and we all chatted from table to table. We walked to Elan Valley and back, quite a trek but absolutely beautiful. That evening we dined in the 16th century Triangle Inn. Amazing food, lovely staff. Our stay in Rhayader at The Horseshoe was wonderful!

Fabulous B&B

Was a little apprehensive when I realised the family room was in the loft. My mum has mobility issues so I didn’t think she would be able to access it when Paul told me it was steep, narrow stairs. I needn’t have worried! The stairs were not that bad and mum managed them. The room was lovely with a king size bed and another room with 2 single beds. Tea/coffee facilities and biscuits were in the room. En-suite was lovely. One of the best I’ve seen in guest houses and B&B’s. Paul’s daughter checked us in and she was very welcoming and helpful telling us some local places to eat. Breakfast was fantastic! Full English breakfast and it was a good size. I couldn’t eat it all! Plenty of toast too! All cooked to order so nice and fresh. The white seeded toast was really nice. Cereal, fruit, yogurt and juice was available to help yourself. Paul was very friendly and made sure everything was ok. A bonus was out 2 dogs could stay free of charge! We will definitely be back. I am glad I have found this B&B and when we attend the dog shows at The Welsh Show Ground this is where we will be booking. See you soon Paul!
